To the Editor:

Recently, El Reno Professional Firefighters reached an agreement with city officials that will provide significant financial relief to support the looming revenue deficit caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our firefighters’ number one priority is the safety of El Reno citizens. We are used to providing assistance in difficult situations, although this is a different kind of assistance. We are happy to be able to help.

The terms of the agreement will mandate that firefighters use unpaid leave when normally scheduled to work.

Editor’s Note: This column was created by the American Legion National Headquarters. It pays tribute to those men and women who have given of themselves, both during times of war as well as during national emergencies.

Every crisis has new heroes. During the 9/11 attacks, they were the first responders running into burning and crumbling buildings as others ran out.
